Melanie Finn's THE GLOAMING is a haunting, relentless exploration of guilt and obsession disguised as a taut psychological thriller. Finding herself ostracized, threatened and slowly losing her grip on reality after a horrible accident, Pilgrim Jones inexplicably flees to Tanzania, where she embarks on a morbid journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she encounters myriad odd and memorable characters, including disillusioned doctors, Ukranian mercenaries, mild-mannered shamans, and vengeful Good Samaritans. Like a combination of PLAY IT AS IT LAYS and HEART OF DARKNESS, THE GLOAMING takes the reader into the most desolate regions of human nature and the darkest realms of the psyche. It is a tale of fear, shame, hope, and perhaps the lingering possibility for redemption.
This masterful novel is perfect for fans of Virginia Woolf and Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Winner of 2018's Booker Prize, MILKMAN Is an intense, stream of consciousness novel that takes place during the 'troubles' in Ireland, although no place (or character) is actually named. The narrator, a young woman, is slowly taken over by a strange person known simply as 'milkman'. In a society teeming with poverty and threatened by imminent violence, Anna Burns creates an entire language, showing the subtle ways a person's life can suddenly belong to someone else. Reminiscent of A GIRL IS A HALF FORMED THING, MILKMAN is by turns sly and comical, a book that belongs in its own category altogether.
Reading this as a teenager forever changed the types of books, movies, and art I fell in love with. For over ten years I've kept this on my shelf and return to it over and over, always discovering something new.
A gloriously epic debut, BLOOD HEIR is a lush, magical story that entrances the reader from the first sentence. Amélie Wen Zhao is a master of both prose and pacing, making me fall in love with writing all over again. Her characters are morally-complex and conflicted. Add in a slow-burn romance and I was completely intoxicated. Zhao is definitely a name to watch!

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
